"Priest and Rabbi Buddies" joke

There was a priest and rabbi who became close friends over many years, and they'd often have lunch together. One day, the rabbi almost ate the priest's ham sandwich, which made the two of them laugh. Then, the priest got a serious look on his face.
"Can I ask you a serious question?" he asked.
"Sure," said the rabbi, "we're good friends."
"Have you ever eaten pork?"
The rabbi paused. "Yes, I have. I was touring the world, and I had stopped in China. A group of locals brought me home for dinner, even though I couldn't speak the language and they didn't speak English. They were very proud of the main course, which was roasted pig. I couldn't tell them it was against my religion, and I didn't want to offend them, so I ate it. I'm sure the lord forgives me, because I was working hard to present a friendly image of his people. Now, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, you've been honest with me." says the priest.
"Have you ever had sex with a woman?"
The priest sighed. "Yes, I have. It was during the war. I was hiding in a family's house as they were shelling the city. I was terrified. There was a young lady there who was also scared to death. I admit that in the process of comforting her, things got out of hand, and we wound up having sex. I've prayed to the lord for forgiveness every day, and I think he understands."
The rabbi nods and then smiles. "It's a whole lot better than pork, isn't it?!"
